I was dubious when we first signed him thought he was just an average pl midfielder that was a slight step up from winks. He's not going to drop a shoulder and completely take people out the game but he's a top quality all round Central midfielder that has added a good amount of goals and assists to his game this season. I've been shocked by his all round qualities since he came in and I don't think I've ever misjudged a player more than I did him
You didn't see him against Leicester after Bissouma came on, did you?
He looked like prime Messi at one point. Literally did drop a shoulder, wriggle away from 2 defenders then burst into the Leicester half, triumphantly with the ball and his chest puffed out.
